Synopsis: From the first page of the Signet first printing: "War against space - This is the thrilling science-fiction story of a group of skilled scientists who set out in the space ship Beagle to explore the secrets of the universe, and soon find themselves engaged in a desperate struggle for survival. Countless light-years from home, far out among the stars, they encounter weird forms of life that surpassed their worst nightmares - a tentacled, cat-like monster that fed on living beings; a race of bird-like creatures with hypnotic powers, an evil and terrifying Thing that could pass through solid matter and sought to make the ship its home. in their desperate battles with these formidable forces, the explorers found basic flaws in their earthly sciences. And when the one man among them who knew the right answers was prevented from using his knowledge, he discovered that in space - as on earth, man can be his own most dangerous enemy!"
